Following the cliffhanging end to series four, there has been international speculation as to where the next series will take the Poldarks...

Horsfield said: "In The Stranger from the Sea, Winston Graham made many references to developments that happened in the 'gap' years.

"Much can also be inferred. There are, of course, also historical events and people of the time, both in Cornwall and in London. Series five will draw on all of these to follow the lives of the Poldarks, George Warleggan, the Enyses, and the Carnes in this intervening period."
